Tuned Artillery

Soundiron Tuned Artillery is a Kontakt percussion instrument built from spent brass artillery shell casings, a combat helmet and decommissioned hand grenades. Its pitched and unpitched strikes deliver ringing metallic tones, rich resonances and anvil-like impacts for experimental tracks, cinematic scores and game soundtracks. Multiple velocity layers and articulations capture the character of these unusual objects, while close, wide and distant hall recordings sit alongside dry booth samples for different spatial textures. Version 2.0 combines remastered recordings with a four-layer engine, letting you blend articulations and shape attack, release, pitch, filtering and modulation. Ambient pads, soundscapes and 20 custom FX presets extend the library beyond percussion into atmospheric territory. It suits producers and composers looking for distinctive tuned metal sounds, whether you need an exposed rhythmic accent or a layered, evolving backdrop.
